> MoreAs the year 2009 comes to a close, a final adieu must be bid to the most recent edition of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1. The season was dominated by Andrew Ranger and his second series title in three seasons and now it's time to close the book on the year passed.

> MoreMany want to say that Dave Jacombs was lucky to find Andrew Ranger, but credit should be given where it is due.
Without question, Ranger has natural abilities and skills behind the heel of a race car. As evidenced up and down the rungs of the NASCAR ladder, it takes time and great communication to translate that talent from open-wheel cars to a stock car.
